The Leafs should beat CBJ...and if they don't it is a failure because the Leafs are a much better team on paper.

That Micky-JT-Marner line is going to dominate I think...It'll be the reason why I say Leafs in 3.

Micky is a top 6 forward and it seems in terms of conditioning, he is at the top of the league. He'll be on fire.

I hope we win, I’m not betting on the leafs anymore

Well CBJ did end up with a better gf%, not by much, but I do think we win. It just won’t be as easy as some think.

Leafs in 4.. CBJ is a good team, I don't think they will be high scoring games, I see a lot of 3-1 or 3-2 games

It’s true - I saw him there.

This is the first time in a looooong time the Leafs are going into a series as the clear favorite....let us have this one

I'm not.

Goaltending got hot for CBJ which propelled them to not even a playoff spot in an actual season.

They aren't a good team and the Leafs should be able to beat them.

The Leafs have failed us before so I am not saying they will win...They are just facing an inferior team.
- Santo_44

This is all true. And what Leaf fans think has zero bearing on the outcome of the series.

I hope we win, I’m not betting on the leafs anymore

I won't be shocked if we lose, just angry

They had excuses against BOS and WSH...they don't here. This is a series you have to come out with a win when you have the better players.

True, and it’s not even the playoffs. I’ll give it to you.

Serious question. Did Drouin actually play that game? Boxscore said he played 17 mins. Never heard his name said once.
- Steven_Seagull

He did.

Had a few good flashes early on but pretty much disappeared afterwards.

And for goal tending...I don't think there should be a person out there who wouldn't take Freddy out of the 3 goalies.

Mzerklins has 30 NHL games to his name and got on a hot streak...That was 5 months ago.

I will be shocked and angry if the Leafs lose.. I don't see the Leafs losing 3 games to CBJ

It is a series for a reason.

Freddy looked sharp against the Habs, he just needs to continue playing that way against CBJ

He did.

Are we talking about Domi? Or Drouin?

They should.

Agreed.. Leafs will win

Are we talking about Domi? Or Drouin?
- PatC80

Does it matter?

Agreed.. Leafs will win
- PatC80

Let's hope so.

The idea of the Leafs having 1/8 chance of getting Lafrenière does not make me happy.

Agreed.. Leafs will win
- PatC80

Which means they can beat Boston

Let's hope so.

Win/win

Does it matter?
- Scabeh

not really, not like either of them are any good

Let's hope so.

- Scabeh

this year is either Cup or Lafreniere.. There is no in-between

Which means they can beat Boston
- Canada Cup

depending on the re-seeding? yes, I think so..

Maybe Leafs v. Lightning though?

Im hoping Mickey doesn't play great.
As result, he signs a cheap 2-3 year and then plays great for those years.

I dont care how it sounds.
If he plays great now, he may be too expensive to resign.

I think he re-signs here regardless, he does love it here and was extremely grateful that Dubas stayed with him in NJ while he had the surgery
